SVN Feature Request: Selecting the revision for pinning externals

Hi,

The new '-pin-externals' switch of the 'svn copy' command pins the externals to their latest version.
This makes sense when copying the latest revision, but in case the copied branch is from an older revision, it also makes sense to pin the externals to the old revision.
This way in case it will be possible to create a tag from an old revision, and not only from the latest one.

My suggestion: Add an optional pinning-revision parameter to the '-pin-externals' switch.
By default (if the pinning-revision' parameter isn't set) - the externals will be pinned to the latest version.
If the parameter is set - the externals will be pinned to the parameter revision.
Best regards,

Israel Sadeh
